We had to evacuate -- we're a few yards from the beach -- and I looked at my book shelves and asked myself, "If I only had one book to read for the next few days, what would it be?" I picked up "The Epic Tale of Hi'iakaikapoliopele" which I had gotten distracted from finishing after reading about 25%. I read another 50 pages on Saturday while hanging out at Kailua High School. And I'm still reading - this time I'll finish it. Have to find another one for the next tsunami! Eh, Michael, what about reading???

My favorite memory is the sign at a store that said "ONLY 2 cases of Spam per customer." We sent some tourists who couldn't get to the airport to the Costco. "Go there," we said. "Lots of people. Ask them where the emergency shelter is." They called back. The hotel down the hill had sent all their evacuees to Costco. There was free food, there were hula dancers and live Hawaiian music. Now we know where to go in an emergency. Only in Hawaii, eh? Great tsunami report, Michael. My favorite memory is the sign at a store that said "ONLY 2 cases of Spam per customer."
